Abstract or description
This chapter critically examines how patriarchal ideologies and superstitions intersect to make women the primary targets of witchcraft accusations. Focusing on the cultural and societal mechanisms that frame the concept of evil through a gendered lens, this analysis reveals how patriarchal control is exercised by casting women as scapegoats for malevolent forces.
